Upside Ranked #2 Fastest-Growing Company in North America on the 2021 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ List

November 19, 2021 — GetUpside, a retail technology company, today announced it ranked #2 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 27th year. GetUpside grew 60,259% between 2017 and 2020.

“The growth we’ve achieved in the last 3 years all comes down to our profit sharing business model. We’re proud of this growth, but our revenue numbers are only a small fraction of the proven, incremental profit we’ve delivered to the retailers we work with,” said GetUpside co-founder and CEO Alex Kinnier. “As our users get more value and more purchasing power out of their everyday purchases, businesses do better and so does GetUpside. And together, that’s how we’re helping our communities thrive.”

“Each year the Technology Fast 500 shines a light on leading innovators in technology and this year is no exception,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “In the face of innumerable challenges resulting from the pandemic, the best and brightest were able to pivot, reinvent and transform and grow. We celebrate the winning organizations and especially the talented employees driving their success.”

“The pandemic has underscored the urgent need for tech solutions in a variety of areas across health care, fintech, energy tech, entertainment, to name a few, so reliance on innovators like the winners of the Technology Fast 500 is more important than ever,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s audit & assurance practice. “These companies are not only at the cutting edge, transforming the way we do business, but most importantly, recognize the strategic importance of ongoing innovation, especially in the ever-changing world of technology.”
